Not only d(d they send delegates to confer )nces, but they had yearly conferences a: well.

like to {point out that Councillor J. Wilkinson had made rather a sarcastic rqmark aljout' conferences pot being held at places like Wlgta. As a natter Of fact If: they wanted to hold a confer­ ence at Wigan they would not be able to dp so owing to the.-lack; 0 accommoda­ tion. .

It was all very well to say that they Were leaving the rate unchanged at 11s. 6d.

In his opinion it was high time they khew definitely what was going to happen! be­ fore they attended conferences, 'fhey ought] to'see the agenda and know the business that was going to be discussed beford any chairman or official was sent to a conference. He understood that the mover of the amendment said he wanted to see how the rates came] out before' he approved attendance at: the conference. In his opinion the riates had come out badly. He would have liked to have seen a reduction and It was only by curtailing expenditurD of that kind that they could reduce their expenditure. ' 'When they had to ;ake £530 but of the rates for a superannua­ tion scheme It was only by saving on expenditure on such things as coiifer- ences)that they could hope to effect a reduction In the future.

This the advantages, were mutual. He questioned the figures' mentioned by Councillor Hallows and expressed the opinion that tfie cost of conferences would be no- ifhere near the,amount-mentioned.i

A drive was beln^ made to make playgrounds more attractive througiout the country, and he-appre-i elated what was being done locally.

He did, not wish to refer to Individual conferences, but he did know definitely from Infbrm- atl()n |he had sought and received tthat mahyi of the conferences that [were attended were not very helpful. It was just h matter of attending a kliid of plchte or holiday. The Information he had given had been-received freim a man who had attended the conferences and derived little help from them ; It was time they cut out any expenditure that was not of benefit to the ratepayers and he moved that the minute be re­ ferred back for further consideration.

When It was remembered the cost of the depart­ ment was about £1,500 a year It must be an Important one.

As hej had beenion many conferences he had a; good idea what they were like and (some were very jhelpful. He was satisfied, in! view of'tne fact that the yates ha^ not been increased and that chairmen and officials did seriously consider the agenda before going, the inoney on the cohferences In question was money well sntat. ’They had to cut thlr coat at^cord- Ing to the cloth, hut on this oct^aslon the dloth was big enough to allow them to] attend the conferences under discus­
